B12 PINSTRIPES YANKEE STADIUM

EDITION OF 100 PIECES

 

The Spearpoint ‘Pinstripes’ features a frame in hand-forged & heat-blued 'Mind Melt' damascus by Chad Nichols, inlaid with wood reclaimed from the seats of the old Yankee Stadium during the renovation of 1973. The blade is 'Wave' damascus with an extra-strong core in VG-10; the one-hand button lock and the thumb stud are set with Kashmir blue topaz gemstones. A remarkable design that gives you an instrument with a full-size secure grip, and a versatile deep-belly blade, the Spearpoint epitomizes William Henry’s core philosophy – that superlative function deserves to be elevated to superlative art. The ‘Pinstripes' features some of the exotic materials and hand-forged metals that are the hallmark of William Henry's collections; a distinctive personality statement to be worn and used for a lifetime.

We are proud to feature the wood reclaimed from the original seats from 'The House that Ruth Built' that were removed during the renovation of 1973
From a baseball standpoint, no field matches the history of New York’s Yankee Stadium. On April 30, 1939, Gehrig played his final game; on May 15, 1941, DiMaggio started his 56-game hitting streak; on October 8, 1956, Don Larsen pitched his World Series perfect game; on October 1, 1961, Roger Maris broke the Babe’s home run record; on May 14, 1967, Mickey hit his 500th home run. Just to remember a few of its most memorable days.

HAND-FORGED DAMASCUS

 

Damascus steel was a term used by several Western cultures from the Medieval period onward to describe a type of steel created in India and used in sword making from about 300 BC to 1700 AD. These swords were characterized by distinctive patterns of banding and mottling reminiscent of flowing water. Such blades were reputed to be not only tough and resistant to shattering, but capable of being honed to a sharp and resilient edge. William Henry's damascus is made from several types of steel welded together to form a billet.
The patterns vary depending on how the damascus artist works the billet. The billet is drawn out and folded until the desired number of layers are formed. William Henry damascus billets are forged with a minimum of 300 layers. William Henry works with a handful of the very best damascus artists/forgers in the U.S.
